Category Archives: Fantasy Elven Art

Within the Realms of Fantasy, can be found the Fantasy Realms, of both Elf and Fairy. Usually, these Fantasy Realms are kept disjoint. The Elves have their Kingdoms. The Fairies have their Fairyland. And this is the Way, that it has always been! So what then, would you say to a Fairy, that could also be an Elf?

Perhaps she’s just a Fairy? I’ve often thought that Fairies would have human ears; and yet, the artist of the above artwork/wallpaper image, has clearly chosen to give her the ears of an Elf. In doing so, do I feel that this Fairy, has gained something of the Powers of the Elves: the ability to listen to the Sounds of Nature. For She’s a Queen of Fairy Glamour 🙂Perhaps she’s just an Elf? I know that the Elves, walk on two feet, and that their most likely Kingdom, is that of the Woods. The greens of this Elf, makes me think of the Forests of this Earth, and of the Oldest of the Old, the Woodland Elf. Yet, the presence of her Fairy Wings, adds to confusion, and makes me think, She’s a Queen of Fairy Glamour 🙂 But is She a Fairy Queen, or an Elven Queen? It’s hard to say for sure! Yet in any case, this Fairy/Elf appears to have a further connection with Nature (such as Forest Ferns), as she has soft skin; which is implied both by her smooth curves, and delicate “human-like” appearance. She also wears some jewellery: a bracelet around her wrist, and a blue [of the Water?] ring upon her finger. In equipping this Fairy so, I feel that this Fairy is somewhat clever; yet I find myself, unable to read the expression upon her face. Perhaps anger? Perhaps watchfulness? Or is she instead, just simply musing? As she sits within this Woodland Realm, pondering to herself: Am I Fairy, Versed in Elf?

If you were to ask me, to name my favourite type of Mythical Creature, then I would say Dragons 🙂 As Dragons are for me, the largest and most power-fullest inhabitants of many a Realm of Fantasy. And yet, do I find that Dragons, often go hand-in-hand, with Fantasy Elves:
Here did I find one such Fantasy Elf, with her trusty Guardian Dragon 🙂 I find it interesting, that she has a Dragon Tattoo on her back, which is perhaps where her Guardian Dragon sleeps, through the Ages of the Elves. Her Dragon, appears to be a Western type, that I feel is aligned, with the Woodland Realms. Further to this, do I find that her Western Dragon, is aligned with the Powers of the Elves; as she is a Woodland Elf, in a Forest Realm. There’s a relationship, between the colour of her Dragon Tattoo, and the colour of her Eleven Eyes, which I feel, are akin to each other. I also suspect, that her Dragon Tattoo, is a Dragon Portal, to Dragon Land, where this Dragon resides, when he is not Guarding. But what of her Eleven Ears? These seem unusually tall [even for an Elf], and I suspect that she to, has a Guardian role to perform: a Carer of the Woods. I also feel, that there’s some resemblance of shape, between the Butterflies and her Hairstyle. As these Butterflies, fly this Night, in Shades of Green! Or perhaps instead, it was just her Eleven Light, that confused my Eyes; as these Eleven Folk, tend to move so quick! Flutter here, Flutter there 🙂

What Traits Does her Eleven Dragon Have?

This Dragon is small. This Dragon is Green. This Dragon has a Tail, that’s like a Forest Whip! This Dragon is watchful. This Dragon is Patient. This Dragon has a Look, that’s like a Forest Ancient! For this Western Dragon knows well, the Paths of Woodland Nature. Be that Woodland Path, or Eleven Path. Be that Forest Path, or Fairy Path! For he’s a Guardian Dragon, with an Eastern Trait:
For this Eleven Dragon is a shape-shifter, whose known to many, as Spider Elf. Their Ears are the same, their Eyes are the same. Their Look is the same, their Stance is the same. For this Eleven Web she casts, in Foliage of the Mythical. For this Eleven Web she casts, in Shadows of the Dark. For could it be, that her Fantasy Dragon, is indeed a Dark Elf? That walks the Darker Side, of this Woodland Realm? Only Legolas would know 🙂
